I honestly don't think he would have made any difference. LCA's problem tonight wasn't offense, it was their defense. I believe SV only punted once all night, and were stopped on downs twice.

Valley actually should have had 2 more touchdowns in the second half, but a couple of untimely fumbles deep in LCA territory kept the score where it was.

If their issue was on defense then Whitman would have made a big difference. He is the leading that defense in tackles this year. Having a team's biggest offensive and defensive threat out of a game absolutely makes a difference and it was a difference in a win or loss. I'm actually shocked it was as close as it was.
